Senior student director Mia Morneault says how much she’s enjoyed working with the cast and crew. “I am very proud of all the cast and crew who worked as hard on it as I have. A lot of people care about [this show],” Morneault said. “I have a lot of friends on the cast and on the crew, but I’ve also grown and gained friendships through the show, even as director where I may be a little more stricter than normal. And I am very grateful for everyone I’ve gotten to work with.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/DSC_0657-1200x800.jpg)

Kato’s painting is a political piece inspired by a photo of elementary schoolers in the street protesting against ICE. “I think it's also symbolic because they're surrounded by snow, which can represent ICE, and they are still marching,” Kato said. “[The kids] are not stopping until equality or justice is served, which I think is really important to represent and show.” Photo by John Pinion](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-03-26-114740.png)

It set the tone for the games after and has really impacted and sparked this whole playoff run.” Photo by Allie Tseng](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/allie-boerne00159-1200x800.jpg)

Hill rushed for three touchdowns in the 43-36 loss against Frisco Wakeland last Friday, but the Timberwolves were eliminated from playoff contention. “[I’m] just happy I got to experience the game with my brothers,” Hill said. “I’m going to remember how close and how enjoyable everything was with these guys. They are my brothers for life. Just waking up and grinding together, and proving the naysayers wrong [was my favorite part].”

The varsity football team lost their homecoming game to the East View Patriots 42-38 last Friday. The defeat was the Timberwolves’ first loss in their homecoming game since 2021 and only the second since 2005.
“We just made too many mistakes,” head football coach Michael Quintero, or Coach Q, said. “There were too many missed opportunities that we didn’t capitalize on and they did, so that’s the outcome.”
In the first quarter, senior running back Trae Hill scored on the first drive of the game before the Timberwolves immediately gave up a big kick off return and a subsequent 65 yard touchdown on the next play. The first quarter ended with a score of 7-7.
Early in the second quarter, junior quarterback David Cooper rushed for a touchdown, bringing the score to 14-7.
“I thought I played pretty well,” Cooper said. “There’s always room for improvement, and [I’m giving] all the glory to God.”
On East View’s next drive, sophomore defensive back CJ Rogers picked off the Patriots’ quarterback, setting up a passing touchdown by Cooper.
“Man, it felt great [to get an interception],” Rogers said. “It was my second one of the season, and I knew it was going to help our team out.”
The Timberwolves scored a field goal and East View scored two more touchdowns before halftime, ending the half with a score of 24-21, Cedar Park.
“I thought we played really well at times, and then we were just too inconsistent tonight,” Coach Q said. “We [would get] them behind the chains then we would give up a big play. We’ve got to start eliminating big plays.”
Neither team scored in the third quarter, but by the last minute of the game, the score had been brought up to 38-35, Cedar Park, courtesy of two rushing touchdowns by Hill.
Down by three points with less than a minute left in the game, East View began to drive down the field. With two seconds left to play, the Patriots were in the red zone and scored a walk-off touchdown to win the game.
“I thought we played very well,” Rogers said. “There’s just little details. Coach talked about it all week. You’ve just got to fix those little things, and we’ll be a great football team.”
Notable performances in the loss included Rogers who had eight tackles and an interception and Hill who had 206 rushing yards and three touchdowns. Cooper had 112 passing yards and a touchdown, in addition to 53 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown.
The loss brought the Timberwolves to 3-3 on the season and 2-1 in district play, third in the district behind Georgetown and East View which are both undefeated in district play. Next week, the team plays Glenn, which is currently 0-3 in district play and won none of its non-district games.
“We’ve got to prepare, just like everyone else,” Coach Q said. “We’ve got to come in and give a great week of work so we have an opportunity to win next week.”
